Full description
This thrilling tour departs from Zadar's marina at 9:00 AM, and the excitement kicks in from the very first minute. After an exhilarating one-hour ride, your first stop will be the shipwreck Michele – a unique opportunity to snorkel and snap some unforgettable underwater photos. Explore the deep blue, admire the well-preserved remains, and dive into the mysterious marine world. You'll have 30 minutes to fully enjoy this underwater wonder.
Next, we'll take you to paradise – Sakarun Beach on Dugi Otok, where you'll have around 40 minutes to relax on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Adriatic. White sand, turquoise waters, and total peace – a little piece of heaven!
Then we continue toward Golubinka Cave, one of Dugi Otok’s most striking natural sea caves. When sea and weather conditions allow safe access, there is time to swim and explore the cave area. The skipper may change or skip this stop when conditions are not suitable.
The journey continues along the dramatic coastline of Dugi Otok, where you'll witness one of the most awe-inspiring natural sights – the towering cliffs above the Salt Lake. From the boat, marvel at these majestic rock formations rising from the sea like natural monuments.
Up next: the crown jewel of the trip – Kornati National Park, specifically the island of Mana. Take in the raw beauty of this island paradise, explore its peaceful coves, and enjoy the panoramic views of rugged cliffs and endless blue.
We then stop at Lojena Beach in Kornati National Park for around 1 to 1.5 hours of swimming and relaxing in the clear Adriatic water. If the group would like to have lunch during the day, an additional restaurant stop can be made separately on Kornat Island.
After a full day of sea, sun, and discovery, we gently cruise back toward Zadar. You'll arrive around 6:00 PM, full of new memories, salty hair, and the peaceful feeling only a day at sea can bring.
